This is ever so lovely. It looks like the top three slices were done by the same person and the little birds looking up fit in wonderfully. Great job, everyone.

Pretty corpse.
But what is "kassatsu" and why are both of Amanda's recent sections titled that?

Very consistent; very cohesive. A great piece. Kudos.

Looks like the same artist did the whole thing...
Great Job!

Purty. And I helped! It was deceptively difficult to get it seamless, but the effect turned out better than I could have hoped. I see a couple areas I wish I could fix, but then I'm my own worst critic. Guess I was wrong about the title though. Sometimes less IS more. This is one of the less cluttered of corpses and the overall effect is, for my money, quite pleasing. Thanks to AppleGrant for echoing the red berries. That really helps sell the overall piece as a cohesive whole. The birds at the top and bottom also frame it out beautifully, as if it were planned that way. I'm proud to have been a part of something this special.

Nice going, that each panel is "hand drawn" truly makes this an Exquisite Corpse.

Nice! And yes, Amanda, what is a kassatsu?
"42 is not always lost fruit (kassatsu)" is a nice sentiment. And now I'm really wondering who is sharing the pomegranate - is that Hades and a teensy maiden Persephone? Have I always presumed she was nearer to adolescence just based on our own cultural framing of the story? Or does Persephone have an infant, now, who shares her fruit and fate? Way to provoke with the imagery, applegrant!
